If the ghost of some long-departed pedagogue who had in former years instructed the rosy checked boys and girls of the Town Hill district, in the mysteries of the three R's, and the art of sharpening goose quills, could have looked in upon the scene of his former labors last Saturday afternoon he would have decided that the place was too gay for him, and would have hied him back in desperate haste to the lowest depths of s.Sheol." Last Saturday afternoon the Town Hill Sunday school celebra- ted the birth of Christ. Skillful hands had decorated the room with appropri- ate notices and heavy festoons of ground pine and ferns. The shutters were closed and the room was lighted by lamps, lanterns and the shining eyes of the children. The singing of the Christmas carols were especially pleasing. the organ ard cornet blend ing melodiouslv with the sweet chili- voices At the conclusion of we'll rendered program of scripture readings. recitations and music, the Christmas tree was dismantled. and the happy faces and merry laughter of the child ren made us wish that Christmas came not once, but many times year.

 All our old subscribers understand that we endeavor to make The News itself worth the subscription price. They furthermore know that we cannot directly club The News with other papers and periodicals without robbing The News of the time which legitimate ly belongs to 1t, and which Is essential to make an interesting paper, yet through Egleetions subscription agency The News Is clubbed with every desira- ble periodical published, for 1t will readily be seen that 1t Is easier to keep an account of 5000 items with one sub- scription agency than to record one item with 5000 different publishers. Thus while we do not directly club with other publications we do indirectly give our subscribers an opportunity, through Egleston's subscription agency, to club The News with 5000 or more periodicals.

 Will Bunnen has so far recovered the use of his foot that he will go back to rorrington the first of the month.
 About fifty friends from this place and vicinity gave MT and Mrs Wm. Sardam surprise party Friday night Tripping the "light fantastic' was the order until about 2:3O a. m., when each one went home, voting the affair a success.
 Edward Rockwell, who has been our mail carrier for 8 number of years, Is in very feeble health this winter and has engaged Isaac Emmons to carry the mail for him. Isaac is an old war veteran and Is trying to obtain 8 pen sion. It is hoped that he will succeed, as his healh is greatly impaired in consequence of his three years service in the army.
 If there has been such a bold burg lary committed here as has been reported the conclusion Is that 1t was committed by woman, as no man conld possibly be found with degree of curiosity sufficient to induce him te commit so bold an act in broad day light, especially in the teeth of a ferocious dog, kept especially to guard the premises.
 If the New Marlboro gatherer of Canaan Valley news was resident of Canaan Valley instead of an adjoining state, he might be better posted in regard to the institutions and industries of the Valley.
